Draxxar's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[GALAPAGOS]

incredible!

Beautiful animation. Sad, amazing, and wonderful. Nice work! The scenery was well done. Nice camera movement. The animation was captivating and the story heart wrenching. Keep up the good work!

[The Bush and Osama Show]

nice theme!

I love the "roadrunner" style cartoon. Slapstick is just awesome. Too bad this wasn't a longer movie.

In regards to your comment about the file size I think I can guess why your file size is so big, and it's probably got to do with your sound clip(s) and or bitmaps. So I'm going to offer hopefully some helpful advice, and if you've tried this already then please pardon this. If you go into your flash library window and select the sound clip and right click it and click on "export settings" you can export as MP3. Try exporting as MP3 with maybe 8 kbps and that should hopefully cut down your file size a bit. Also trace bitmaps and save as movie clips and use the movie clips in the frames vs. bitmaps. That helps too. Just some tips that I know could probably easily cut down your file size for this. (I did not know about the MP3 setting myself until someone else had pointed this out to me and that really helped me a ton).

The grenade rolling around and hitting Bush was a riot. Though I'm not big on Bush bashing personally I still can appreciate the comedy aspect and in my opinion you can't really go wrong with the "roadrunner" theme. It's one of my favorites! Keep up the good work!

[Perfect Day]

nice animation!

Really nice, smooth animation! Impressive work. I like this style alot and though I've seen alot of impressive animation on newgrounds I think it's this style that really stands out on its own. The buildings in the background scrolling by in 3D is just incredible when put together with that static background... wow. Amazing stuff. Funny joke setups here too. The old lady's interpretation of what the main character was doing was a riot! Keep up the good work! I've never reviewed anything on newgrounds before and though I've seen other things very impressive, it's this particular style of cartooning that I really like. Simplicity yet complex in its own right. Smooth animation. Great setup, concept and ideas put together. Perfect! Hope to see more like this. I'd like to give it a 10 but what holds me back is I'm really hard to get a laugh out of (in a cartoon) unless there's tons of slapstick going on (a.k.a. roadrunner style). So on humor, personally I'd rate it a 5 simply because I'm looking for something different - though over all I think this probably deserves a 10.... However one other thing would have made it even better and that's the lip syncing - while great it could probably use some improvement (by that I mean maybe morph the lips into funny cartoony poses as he talks - that would make it even a funnier cartoon in my opinion but still great work over all). Again this is just my preference in a cartoon and so far of all the toons on this site this one is just amazing in this style. I love it. Looking for more like this.
